“run a bit small, but nice boots”

“I bought these as a replacement for some older boots that wore out. I followed others' advice and bought a half to full size larger than I would otherwise and they seemed to fit alright (maybe a bit loose). I have used them a few times now and my only complaint is that sometimes the interior lacing system seems to loosen up a bit as I ski. I can't say much about their durability in the long run, but they are holding up pretty well so far. I like that they are pilot boots so I have an opportunity to upgrade my equipment if I want to (right now I just have profil bindings). I also like the nice high "gaiter" that zips over the boot. Keeps the snow out for skiing off-track.”
